Community Spotlight: The Derrick Thomas & Neil Smith Third and Long Foundation

58

The Derrick Thomas & Neil Smith Third and Long Foundation strives to “sack” illiteracy by providing the support necessary to improve reading skills of students in the Greater Kansas City area. Founded in 1990 by the late Derrick Thomas of the Kansas City Chiefs, who passed away February 8, 2000, from injuries sustained in an automobile accident. His teammate Neil Smith got directly involved years ago, ensuring the mission continues. Listen in as Board Member Dr. Marge Williams gives us an update on the organization, upcoming events and the push to get Otis Taylor into the Hall of Fame.
